If the price manages to break the correction line, this will lead the price into the 1.91 zone. Also, the price has completed a 5-wave impulse before, so any break above the correction line will start a new 5-wave impulse move. Our technical view has been shown in the chart.

GBP/USD Navigates Sideways Market with Focus on US Inflation DatThe recovery move in the GBP/USD pair from the 1.2660 level appears to have initiated following the price's rejection at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the previous swing low. Our long-term forecast anticipates closing this position around 1.2760, as the COT report indicates a potential for USD strength outweighing that of GBP. Currently, the price is trading within a sideways range, presenting an opportunity for a strategy of buying at lower, discounted prices and selling at higher, premium prices. Investors are now shifting their focus towards the upcoming release of the United States (US) core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data for May, which is scheduled for publication on Friday. This data is crucial as it is the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) preferred measure of inflation. The core PCE inflation data is expected to provide fresh insights into the timing and extent of future interest rate adjustments by the Fed. Annual underlying inflation is projected to have eased to 2.6% in May, down from the previous reading of 2.8%. On a monthly basis, the inflation rate is expected to have grown by 0.1%, a slight decrease from the 0.2% growth observed in April. Given these conditions, we are looking to establish a bullish position within this sideways trading area, leveraging the price movements to buy low and sell high as the market dynamics unfold.

Brace for NFP, ECB Forum, and two major elections This week is set to be a pivotal one for global markets, with significant economic and political events on both sides of the Atlantic. In the United States, the spotlight will be on nonfarm payrolls at the end of the week, with the economy expected to have added 180,000 jobs in June. This would mark a slowdown from the 272,000 jobs added in May and signal a cooling of the labor market. Across the Atlantic, political developments in France and the United Kingdom are likely to dominate market movements. France's Parliamentary Elections: France held the first round of its parliamentary elections on Sunday. The far-right National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, has surged to first place, securing 33.5% of votes according to recent polls. The second round of voting is scheduled for July 7. The dissolution of the National Assembly by President Emmanuel Macron earlier this month has already caused volatility in French stocks. However, some see this as a buying opportunity. Eden Bradfield of BlackBull Research commented, "Our preference list includes Kering, LVMH, Richemont, Brunello, and Hermes at the right price." Adding to the busy week, the European Central Bank (ECB) will host its annual forum in Sintra from Monday to Wednesday. The event will gather central bank governors, including Jerome Powell of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Roberto Campos Neto of the Brazilian Central Bank, Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England, and Christine Lagarde of the ECB. On the economic front, Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports for the Eurozone and Germany are due this week. These reports are anticipated to show a slight easing in inflation, which will be closely monitored by investors and policymakers alike. UK General Elections: In the United Kingdom, a major political shift is anticipated on July 4. Polls suggest a landslide victory for Keir Starmer’s Labour Party and a major defeat for Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives, who have been in power for 14 years. For the exact date and time of these major economic events, import the BlackBull Markets Economic Calendar to receive alerts directly in your email inbox.

Directional Bias: Bullish Indicators: Pivot Line Strength: The large volume at 0.84915 suggests that if the price can break and sustain above this level, it may indicate strong bullish momentum. Support Levels: The accumulation of buy orders below the current price indicates strong support around 0.84655 and 0.84265, which can provide a solid base for upward movement. Bearish Indicators: Resistance Levels: The substantial sell orders above the current price at 0.85204 and 0.85728 suggest that the price may face significant resistance, potentially limiting the upside.

Sell GBP/USD Channel BreakoutThe GBP/USD pair on the M30 timeframe presents a potential selling opportunity due to a recent downward breakout from a well-defined Channel pattern. This suggests a shift in momentum towards the downside in the coming Hours. Key Points: Sell Entry: Consider entering a short position around the current price of 1.2675, positioned close to the breakout level. This offers an entry point near the perceived shift in momentum. Target Levels: 1st Support – 1.2635 2nd Support – 1.2610 Stop-Loss: To manage risk, place a stop-loss order above 1.2703. This helps limit potential losses if the price unexpectedly reverses and breaks back upwards. Thank you.

A Brief History of the Pound (Strength and Weakness) Black Wednesday, 16 September 1992 Black Wednesday, or the 1992 sterling crisis, was a financial crisis that occurred when the UK Government was forced to withdraw sterling from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. This is when George Soros famously shorted the pound and made a 1 billion dollar profit. Dot-com Bubble, 2000 The dot-com boom peaked on 10 March 2000. The bust followed, causing USD strength. The GBP Boom, 2002-2007 The recent economic golden era for the UK. Inflation was steady, and economic growth was high. The Global Recession, 2007/2008 The boom was inevitably followed by a bust—a financial crisis that shook the world. Cash flowed to dollars, yen, and Swiss francs. I lived through this (and lost my employment). I started trading during the recovery. Recession Recovery, 2009-2024 Global economies slowly recovered from the 2007/2008 financial crisis. Cash flowed back to non-dollar and non-yen currencies. Brexit, 2015-2019 The GBP weakened due to the uncertainty of the UK leaving the EU. The EU referendum was held on 23 June 2016. The GBP continued to weaken on the referendum result and the UK leaving the EU. I remember watching the pound fall the week after the referendum. The volatility was nothing I had ever witnessed... Until COVID! COVID & High Inflation, 2000-2023 The global pandemic brought panic to the markets, weakening the GBP and strengthening the USD. This was followed by high inflation, further weakening the GBP and strengthening the USD. I wonder where PEPPERSTONE:GBPUSD go from here?

Independence from the Tories: A new July 4th As the UK approaches the July 4th general election, the Labour Party is set to end the Conservatives' 14-year rule. According to the latest BBC poll tracker, Labour leads by 20 points, with 41% of the vote, while the Conservatives hold 21%, and Reform UK is at 16%. Labour's pledge to improve EU relations could strengthen the pound by reducing Brexit-induced trade frictions. This potential easing could boost the UK economy and support sterling. The pound has remained relatively stable ahead of the election, with the GBP/USD hovering near the 1.2700 mark. Despite the broad expectation of a Labour victory, traders appear cautious. A decisive break above this level could see buyers gaining control. Given Labour's substantial lead in the polls, it is plausible that the market has already priced in a Labour victory to a significant extent. However, the actual impact on sterling and broader market sentiment will depend on the clarity and execution of Labour's economic policies post-election.
